SUMMER ART CAMPS 2025

Hamilton Studio School's programming for Young Artists is designed to grow skills, nurture artistry and foster the next generation of artistic community.   

Our instructors are trained professional artists and experienced teachers.  Please visit our faculty page to learn more.

Hamilton Studio School is excited to welcome Justine Lanza to our Summer Camp 2025 faculty!

Our studios are located in the Westdale neighbourhood at 99 North Oval, Hamilton (inside Westdale United Church.)

We are a short walk to beautiful natural settings and spend some of our time each session sketching in the RBG trails, and Churchill Park.

Camp Day: 9:30-12noon & 1:00pm-3:30pm.

Supervised Lunch: 12:00noon-1:00pm.

We often take a short snack/activity break in the morning and afternoon session.

Supervised Drop-off time:

9:00-9:30am

Supervised Pick-up time:

3:30-4:00pm

We believe that quality art materials are an essential part of learning in the visual arts--and so are found materials and recyclables!

For most of our Summer Camp programs, materials are included in the cost.  Only Portfolio Preparation students (ages 16+) must bring their own materials.

After payment is complete, Hamilton Studio School will send the registration forms to families through email. We thank you for completing these at your earliest convenience and request that these be returned no later than a week before the session's start date.

Art Exhibitions are an important way for young artists to reflect, grow and share their accomplishments with family and community.  In September 2025, Hamilton Studio School will host its first annual Young Artists' Art Show.  All students in our Summer Camp 2025 are invited to participate!
